Chilli
Chili, or Hot Pepper, is the fruit of plants from the genus Capsicum. Celebrated for its pungency, taste, flavor, and color, chili is an essential ingredient in many cuisines around the world.
Indian chili is renowned globally for two key commercial qualities: vibrant color and distinctive taste. Rich in vitamins, potassium, magnesium, and iron, chili is also valued for its health benefits. Traditionally, chili extracts have been used to alleviate pain associated with arthritis, headaches, burns, and neuralgia.
India stands as the world's largest producer, consumer, and exporter of dry chili, accounting for about one-third of global production. The states of Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and Madhya Pradesh are the leading producers and major contributors to India's chili exports.
